Area of Science:

  • Robotics in Surgery
  • Minimally Invasive Surgery
  • Surgical Technology

Background:

  • Minimally invasive surgery (MIS) faces performance limitations due to orientation challenges.
  • A prototype remote-access endoscopic telemanipulator was developed to address these limitations.
  • The system was evaluated for a surgical anastomosis task.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To assess the efficacy of a novel telemanipulator system for surgical anastomosis.
  • To compare the performance of the telemanipulator system against laparoscopic and open surgical techniques.
  • To evaluate the impact of intuitive orientation on task completion.

Main Methods:

  • A remote-access telemanipulator system with remote center-of-motion geometry was utilized.
  • In vitro tubular anastomoses were performed using the telemanipulator.

  • Surgeon performance was compared across telemanipulator, standard laparoscopic, and open surgical methods.

    • Main Results:

    • Telemanipulator use resulted in an average task completion time of 1448 ± 130 s, compared to 2108 ± 291 s for laparoscopy and 296 ± 25 s for conventional techniques.
    • Leakage rates were 5.2 ± 1.4 ml/s (telemanipulator), 6.9 ± 2.0 ml/s (laparoscopic), and 3.2 ± 0.9 ml/s (conventional).
    • All participants successfully completed the assigned task in all conditions without complications.

    Conclusions:

    • Remote-access endoscopic telemanipulation demonstrates capability for complex 3D surgical manipulations.
    • The intuitive surgeon workstation orientation may facilitate easier task completion in MIS.
    • This pilot study suggests potential for telemanipulation to improve surgical outcomes.
